Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Will you buy Sherwood Newcastle from Axiom?

I just read this from the Rotel forum:

.... I understand from the info that Kevin brought back from CES that there are no commercially available chipsets for hdmi1.3 that offer any real advantage over 1.1 at the moment and so the Denon and Sherwood Newcastle products are little more than mock-ups or 'statements of intent' at this stage .I guess Rotel could have shown a box that looked similar to the 1068 but with hdmi terminals and logos
on the front with DTS-HD and the like but the internal components just aren't available yet and this we were told is why Rotel didn't show any product.....
